Spring-Like Wei'.h.r and Farm Work
Progressing.
The week ending Monday, April 30,
was the warmest of the season to date,
with the average temperature about 4
degrees warmer than usual. Although
complaints of cool nights with consequent
injury to young cotton were
common, the temperature was gener[
ally favorable on growing crops.
| i here was suriicicnt sunsnme, exvein
over the extreme western counties
where cloudiness prevailed.
Light showers were general on the
241h, and scattered showers on the
27th, the latter confined to the southeastern
portions cf the State. While
in places farm work was further delayed
by the week's rainfall, it was as
a rule, beneficial in softening the
crust that had formed on plowd lands
following the heavy rains of the previ1
ous week.
Planted fields are becoming grassy
and are in need of cultivation, and
! clay lands are becoming baked and
hard as they dry. Over the western
hilf nf Statp nrenarations of
' lam's and planting were generally re'
suir.eil on the .27th. on uplands, bat
' low lands continue to be too wet to
work.
Corn planting is about fiakhrd in
the eastern half of the State where
. most of it is up to good stands and
is being cultivated. In places it was
injured by too much rain. In the
western counties there is still mucn
1 upland, and all bottom land, corn to
i plant although early corn is coming
up to fair stands. Cut worms, birds
; and rats have injured stands, necessitating
much replanting.
Cotton planting is practically finished
in the eastern counties, and it
I is coming up quickly to good stands.
Some cotton is large enough to plow
1 and is being ehopped. Fields are bei
coming grassy. In the central and
, western counties, lands1 for cotton are
' r.ot all prepared, and from two-thirds
to one-half of the crop remains to be
planted. In places this work was
barely begun before the rains of the
previous week, but has been resumed
, and is being hurried.
Tobacco transplanting made rapid
i and favorable progress, with plants
j fine and plentiful, although scarce in
places. This work soon will be finished.
The first plantings being cnlti(
vated. A nr.inber of correspondents
I report a reduction in the acreage de'
voted to tobacco.
Rice planting continues, but it
; makes slow progress owing to hign
, water and freshets in the rivers, tnun.
j dating rice lands and injuring the
j banks of the streams. I'pland lice is
i doing well.
All reports on wheat continue favorable.
except that rust has appeared
j in spots. Oats are improving, and
are beginning to head, but are heading
low in places. The oats crop will
be larger than heretofore estimated,
owing to the recent favorable weather
conditior.6.
The indications are that the fruit
crop will be the largest in a number
of years. Apple and pear trees are
blighting badly. Peaches set a large
crop everywhere, but there are complaints
of the fruit dropping. Strawberries
are ripening, and being shipped
Gardens and truck have improved
and vegetables are becoming plentiful.
except qver the western counties
where gardens are late. Melons and
cane coming up to good stands.
Pasturage abundant. Potato bugs aru
numerous and damaging.

CANAL BILL PASSED.
GoesTIirough the House Amid Stormy
Scenes.
SENATE.
One hundred and Eighth Day.?
Again the question of expressing sympathy
for the Boers was thrust upon
Senate. This time it came up in a motion
to proceed to the consideration of
the resolution introduced by Mr. Pettigrew.
of South Dakota, which was before
the Senate last Saturday. The
motion was defeated. 23 to 30. Late in
the session the Senate, after a brief
discussion, agreed to the conference report
on the joint resolution relating to
the administration of civil affairs in
Porto Rico and providing for the ap
pomtment ci temnorary oincers mi
the island . No progress was made
with the Alaskan civil code bill.
One Hundred and Nineth Day.?After
more than two months the Alaskan civil
code bill was passed by the Senate.
The amendment relating to the alien
location of mining claims has delayed
the passage of the measure for several
weeks, and at times has engendered a
deal of feeling in debate. Mr. Carter,
therefore, today withdrew the amendment
and all other points in dispute
and a few minutes later the bill was
passed. It provides a full civil code of
procedure for the district of Alaska.
One Hundreo and Tenth Day.?Consideration
of the array apropriation
bill in the Senate developed a debate
on the treatment of the volunteer soldiers
sent to the Philippines, that at
limes was bitter. Mr. Mason of Illinois.
delivered a speech on the investigations
made by the committee or

I food. He strongly urged that Congress
! should take immediate action to remI
ed.v existing evils looking ta marking
ingredients of all foods exposed for
1 sale and prohibiting all deleterious ar
j ticles.
One Hundred and Eleventh Day.?
The Senate adopted the motion of
1 Mr. Hoar to take up the resolution of
the committee on elections, declaring
that Mr. Clark of Montana, was not
i duly elected to the Senate and then
postponed consideration of the question
for a week. The greater part o3
the day was occupied in the consideraJ
tion of the army appropriation bill.
1 discussion at times was very spirited.
The bill was passed without division.
One Hundred and Twelfth Day.?
The day's session of the Senate was
I rcn/loroH ocndpiu 11v rmtnhlf* hv the
passage, after a debate lasting only
three hours, of the array re-organization
bill. In military circles the measure
is regarued as one of the most impcrtant
of the present session, 't
practically revolutionizes the present
system of permanent appointments i.i
certain staff corps to one of dctaii by
, a gradual process, as the omccrs nov:
I in those corps go out of active service.
; As vacancies occur in the departments
of the Adjutant General, the
' inspector general, the quartermaster :
genera! and ccmmirsary general. they \
! are to be filled by details from the
line, the details to be temporary and i
not exceeding four years.

HOUSE.
I '
One Hundred and Eighth Day.?The j
i House passed the biil to enlarge the
powers of the department of agrieul- '
j ture and to prohibit interstate com- j
I meroe in game killed in violation of !
I local laws. It authorizes the secretary j
of agriculture to provide for the intro- !
duction and restoration of game, song J
and insectivorous wild birds. It gives
, him the power to prevent the introducI
ticn of undesirable foreign birds ami
animals, and prevents the killing of
same in violation cf State laws for
cealed shipment to States where it can
be sold in the open markets.
One Hundred and Nineth Day.?For
the first time during the 50 yeara of
agitation of the project for the construction
of an inter-oceanic canal, the
House of Representatives entered upon
the consideration of a measure to actually
authorize the building of a canal.
Many times propositions bearing
upon the subject have been before the
House, but this was the first time positive
action can be predicted.
One Hundred and Tenth Day.?The
House at the conclusion of the mo.-i
stormy debate of the present session,
passed the Nicarauguan Canal bill by
the overwhelming vote of 225to35. All
atempts to retain in the bill the language
of the original bill for the for- .
tiflcation of the canal and to still further
strengthen the language on that j
line were balked and the victory of Mr. j
Hepburn and the committee was com- |
plete. A motion to recommit the bill

route to the President, was buried under
an adverse majority of 52 to 171.
One Hundred and Eleventh Day.?
The House without division passed
the "free hemes" bill, which has been
pending before Congress for a number
of years. The bill provides that the
government shall issue patents to actual
bona fide settlers on agricultural
lands of Indian reservations opened to
settlement. These lands were taken
up by settlers who contracted to pay
from $1.25 to $3.75 per acre. By the
terms of the bill, the government assumes
the payment of the purchase
fn tho Indians and changes the !
existing law relative to agricultural
eolleggs so as to insure the payments
of the endowments which have heretofore
come out of the sale of public
lands, in case of deficiency. These
payments involve $1,200,000 annually
Of the 2i?,000,000 acres in Indian reservations
opened to settlement for whicu
the government is to pay. or has paid
$35,000,000, about 8,000,000 acres have
been taken and about 2,000,000 are supposed
to be still available for agricultural
purposes.
